The maker estimates about 1.5 hours for a full earbud charge in the case, about 3 hours for the case by cable, or 3.5 hours for the case wirelessly. Ten minutes of charging is claimed to provide four hours of earbud playback. The manual lists a 5 V / 0.8 A input. Use a certified USB-C charging cable and fully dry the buds and charging port first.
